The crawfish season is 'on." and
the toothsome little crustaceans are
plenty.
The Whitehall boat race was not

and injuring her keel.
The On-yon got in early yesterday
morning; the Male went aground at

The Tom Corrin arrived at San
Francisco on the 12th from the Arc
tic. She had an exciting time in the
polar regions and brought down
about 100 men, survivors of crews of
shipwrecked whalers, for whom the
season was unusually disastrous.
The low prices of provisions that
existed during the summer months
seem destined to disappear, every
thing in the way of food being again
on the rise. Fresh meat has held its
own all along, and staple articles of
food all show a slight appreciation in
the local markets.
The fishing-boat race as advertised
in another column, will be postponed
one week, until Saturday, Oct. 21, to
give the boats all time to get ready,
and a subscription purse of $23 In
coin will be added to the first prize
of a new "Waltham watch and chain
given by Jeff. See adv't.
Work will be continued on the Cas
cade division of the Northern Pacific
during the coming winter. The road
is complete for a distance of ninety
three miles from the Columbia river.
No further contracts have been made
for construction on the western side
of the Cascade mountains.
In the matter of overland freights
Astoria is pretty well favored, goods
being laid down here at the same
rates as in Portland or San Francisco.
The Standard Oil Co., of Cleveland.
Ohio, is reaching out hithcrward in
this mattor, and is delivering oil in
carload lots on the dock here at way
down figures, they paying the freight.
Lest they should "gel mad" and
forget it, one of the first things the
legislature might, could, would or
should do after convening in special
session, is to fix things so that Judge
Taylor is not by law obliged to open
court iu Alkali and Astoria on the
same day. The judge is not given
to spreading himself, but even if he
were the straddle is too great.
The county court at its Monday
session levied a tax for tho ensuing
year as follews: school, four mills:
support of state insane asylum, one
mill; payment of Indian war debt,
half a mill; slate university, one
tenth of a mill; county expenses, in
cluding state pro rata, sixteen and
four-tenths mills; total, twenty-two
mills. This on the basis of assess
ment should yield $11,830.

by Balfour, Guthrie & Co. to Great
Britain at an advance on the above

Then comas poll tax, and road tax,
and property road tax. Oh. it counts
up. Under" the beautiful law that
allows indebtedness the man that
gets in debt and stays there is lots
smarter than the foolish fellow that
works lo get out of debt and accumu
late a little property. Sometime the
present system that prevails in Ore
gon will come to an end and people
will wonder how under the sun they
ever endured such au uncouth and
primitive system of raising revenue
by keeping the assessments away
down and putting the assessed rate
away up.
The Allien Hesse sailed from Vic
toria for Hong Kong last Monday
with 3S1 Chinese. The Coloma
which sails from Portland next
Wednesday, will Xiie over 300.
There is one thing in connection with
this emigration business, says the
Orcfjonian, which will be a surprise
" to many. Any Chinaman so fortu
nate as to have $100 in gold can, by
leaving it with, Portland bankers, get
a bill of exchange on Hong Kong for
$114.50, payable in big Mexican dol
lars. If a Chinaman has $500 iu gold
he can pay his fare to Hong Kong
and have $522.50 when he gets there.
There is something in this which
might throw a ray of light on the
silver question.

THE SEW SLAVERY.
The IncvitaWe Degradation of "White La-
hor Consequent upon Retention
of The Chinese.
The following is copied from the San
Francisco correspondence of the Cincin
nati Enquirer, which has achieved the
distinguished honor of being one of the
first Eastern journals to denounce the
.new form of slavery now insidiously
struggling for a foot-hold in this country :
Stephen T. Gage, a native of northern
Ohio, has lived iii California thirty-eight
vears. For the past fifteen years he has
been connected with the Central and
.Southern Pacific Kailroads.andds now
assistant to Mr. Stanford, president of
the whole Pacific system of this coast.
Brought upon a farm. Mr. Gage lias a
good practical knowledge of agricultur
al matters, and especial!) of tanning on
this coast, and is now managing a farm
of :r,000 acres. His railroad duties have
forced upon him a knowledge of nearly
every business or industry conducted on
the Pacific slope, including mining, lor
he was actively engaged in that for
year.-. But. above all, Mr. Gage is an
honest man. and. whether right or
wrong, believes in all things which he
advocates. Ueing a man of good sense,
his conclusions on matters outside his
railroad affairs are accepted by those
who know him as sound and worthy of
consideration. Such a man, with his
wide experience, cannot hut have sound
opinions on the Chinese question, the
one uhject which is of more import
ance to the people of tho Pacific coast
than all other economic questions. The
other day i drifted his talk to that sub
ject, when he said:
"1 am opiosed Jo Chinese immigra
tion because on an even keel the white
man cannot compete with him in any of
the pursuits requiring physical labor.
I do not discuss him iu any of the com
mercial avocation, but merely as an
lenient of labor. I have made a com
parative study of the white and Chinese
working people in every avocation.
Perhaps their civilization is higher than
iiii-s. lor it is certainly much older, and
it has taught them how to support the
maximum 'population at the minimum
rest. The fact that a population of over
four hundred million live upon the pro
duct ot ihc territory embraced within
the limits ot the kingdom of China
proves this proposition. 1 have never
seen a Chinaman who could not read
and write iu his own language. They
are the most docile people up to a cer
tain point in their employment, and
that point i- where they believe they
hae acquired sufficient knowledge of
the business at which they were ein
ploved to carry it on themselves. They
are'an imitative race, but they originate
nothing, as is shown by the fact that
their whole civilization stands where it
certamh was l.oixi years ago. barring
the innovations forced upon them by
other nations.
The degradation of white labor is
therefore a natural sequence of compe
tition with this class of persons, and I
think any observer will soon see that
the introduction of Chinese in Califor
nia has established in thirty years as
distinct a line of demarkation between
labor and capital as slavery did in the
'2U year of its existence in the old
states, with the disadvantage here of
the e being fewer restraints of all kinds
on the aristocratic element. Less than
live hundred men own lully one-half
the property of this great State, and
they are able to retain their vast estates
because of the presence of the Chinese
labor, and at the same time pay less
than half the taxes. The man who does
not own sufficient property to allow
him to eniplov Chinese labor and make
a profit on ft falls to the grade of the
"poor white trash" of the South, though
he may work every day. In thirty years
we have made this vast gulf between the
two elates, and while the products of
all the rest of the country are based
upon the labor of property-consuming
white men. the products of California
represent the low wages of the Chinese,
for every wiiite producer who employs
only his own labor must compete with
their, in the various markets. The em
plover of Chinese labor starts with an
advantage over the person whose mark
etable products are the results of his
own labor.
Practical illustrations of this fact are
visible on every hand. Take gardening,
for instance, and the sale of vegetables.
The large gardener, paying sixty cents
per lav to ihc Chinese laborer, who
boards himself, can all'ord to sell to the
peddler for less than the ordinary white
man can afford to produce vegetables.
This would seem to give the poor white
man a chance lo monopolize the retail
ing of vegetables, in case the Chinese
employing ganlner did not chose to do
it himself. Hut if you look out of the
window you will notice more than a
dor.cn Chinese vegetable peddlers,
whose outfit consists of two baskets and
a light stick. At one lime we weighed
all "of these baskets on our ferries, and
found that the average weight of vege-
taltles which one Chinaman carries is
SM pounds. A white man could not
move this quantity of vegetables without
a horse and wagon. A horse and wagon
of the worst sort represents an expendi
ture of not less than SUM). To this must
he added the feed and care of the horse,
shoeing, stable rent, and repairs to
wagon ami harness. To make cost, the
owner of the horse and wagon must
make at least 1 per day of profit. It"
he lives, or has any family, he must
make at least $2 per day of gross profit.
The Chinaman can sell at a less price
and make the same net profit that the
white man can. If he makes but fifty
cents per dav profit he has at least thirty
cents to lay by. I have known a China
man with only .sio of capital to carry a
whole squat c of customers' accounts
for a month, and at the end of that tune
each oft hem would owe him more than
the whole of his original capital.
'The l'cstrictinn Act was a godsend
to the resident Chinese, if it had been
carried out as congress intended it.
Last year when the' current seemed to
be going from us. the Chinese harvest
hand advanced his wages from 1 to
SI ro, and in some cases S2. But this
year, with the tide flowing this way
aain. the wages went down to the point
at which no white man could earn
enough to pay for bread and decent
clothes. And this is true in every line
of labor. This leads me to the question
which has for some years prevented im
migration lo this state, and will coiir
tinue to prevent it so long as the stream
of Chinese labor pours in upon us.
Except the railroad land grants and the
little government land now subject to
entry, as 1 said belore five hundred
men ownone-uaii me agricultural lands
of the state. So long as these men can
compete with" the other half of land
owners, with this cheap labor, they will
never subdivide their immense tracts of
land, or part, with them nt a price which
would allow the ordinary farmer to
make a living off of them by his own
labor. It is a settled principle of politi
cal economy that a community which is
a consumer is also a producer. A Chi
nese population is not a consuming
population. In other words, if the Iiuii
dred thousand Chinese laborers were
whites, they would consume at least
three times as much as the Chinese do,
and thus create a local demand for three
times greater production. At least two-
thirds of the clothing and personal
effects of the Chinese are brought from
China, so that we can say that practi
cally thev add nothing to the wealth of
the state "bv their consumption, and all
the wages "paid them for their labor is
sent out of the country.
'The Asiatic civilization may be
higher tlian ours. I don't care how
thev class it, but it will not amalgamate
with ours, nor can people with our civ
ilization live under it. We have passed
the point which the framers of the Con
stitution had in view when they invited
the oppressed of all nations to seek an
asylum on our shores. We are now
hound to protect our own people and
while we maintain free schools and
teach our children lo use luxuries un
known to the Asiatics we must not ex
pect them to compete in the race of life
with a class of toilers who can subsist
on what would not have ted and clothed
a slave in the cotton states. If the rail
roads are to prosper they must have a
consuming and, consequently. a produc
ing population, and this cannot be until
we are rid of the Chinese !aborei"
I do not pretend to give all that Mr.
Gage aid on this subject, but give his
main points." Considering his opportu
nities of observation, and the fact that
his corporation employs thousands of
these people, his opinions should carry
a weight which would not attach lo the
saying of the mere politician.
3IAK1NC 3IOXEY IX ALASKA.
On great Maccatiua, Alaska, where
Jolietonce had a sealing establish
ment, lives Samuel Goment, who, be
side his family, consisting of a wife
and one or two brothers, is its only
inhabitant. He was born on the isl
and; has lived there forty years with
out yearning for other habitation and
has.grown rich in catching seals
caught 3,000 the last spring; uet
profit to him of that achievement
something like 30,000, which is
pretty well for a place where one
would imagine nothing could be ex
pended. This, however, as Mr. Go
nient assured us. is not the case, as
trading boats visit the island during
the open season, laden with all sorts
of seductive wares. In Mr. Goment's
hospitable cellar are excellent brands
of Macon, Yieux and Bumart; and ho
lives here like au insular baron,
though without retainers or retinue,
getting tribute and reveuue from the
annually recurring seal. He is well
to do, coutented and happy, sees n
little of the outsidr world, getting
intermittent glimpses of it through
the fortnightly visit of the govern
ment mail boat, the Otter, whose
black smoke pennon we saw a day
before our arrival, and through the
occasional visit of fishing schooners
from Newfoundland and the Mag
dalens such as now lie nt anchor in
tho harbor. Mr. Gomeut, who is a
burl v. good-uaturedman, bearded like
Barbarossa and with a sort of He-
bridian accent, visits us on board,
wants us all to accompany him to his
home iu order that wo may be del
uged with his pent up hospitalities;
tells us all the wild lore of the region
and makes himself an immense
favorite with overy body on board.

How
They Keep tile Prisoners From
Rreakins Jail iu Omaha.
Omaha, Nebraska, has just finished
a new jail, built on an entirely original
plan, and the Omaha lite says it is a
novelty well worth visiting. " The pe
culiar feature of the jail, which marks
as different from any other, is that
the cells are arranged iu the form of. a
great iron cylinder which revolves
about so that only one cell is at the
opening at any one time. This cylin
der is three stories high, there be
ing ten cells on each lloor. Its
weight is forty-five tons, and this
ponderous weight is hung from above
instead of turning on a track below.
The strangest part of the arrange
ment is that tho great cylinder can be
turned by a simple crank with very
little force, a man with his left baud
moving it readily. When it is com
plete it is the intention to have a lit
tle water motor in the basement, and
then by simply moving a lever the
cylinder will be set to rotating. It is
suggested that when there are prison
ers who it is feared may be trying to
cut out. the cylinder can, by a motor,
be easily kept moving slowly all night,
so that the prisoners do not remain
long enough in one place to do any
mischief, or even to crawl out if they
had made a partial break. It seems
that prisoners have little chance for
escape from this new jail. A cage of
iron bars completely surrounds the
cylinder in which the cells are. The
entrance on each lloor is guarded by
two doors. The ofiicer standing out
side does uot have to unlock, even
the first door, but can swing the cyl-:
iiiui'i iiruuuu u mil mil- ecu appears in i
which is the desired prisoner, and
then by a simple movement tho inner
door is opened and the prisoner can
step out of his cell. Then the ofiicer
can open the other door and let the
man out, but the other prisoners are
way beyond any possible reach of the
ofiicer, and it is impossible for them
to make any break ou him while he
is taking a man put or putting one in.
He can handle any number of men in
the same way, and they cannot reach
him until he chooses to let them.
